The Artist

Now in my 30th year as an oil painter, I live in Fayetteville, where I enjoy interacting with the vibrant and creative artistic community here. Originally a Texan with little formal artistic training, I moved to Stone County, Arkansas as a young man and undertook my own education with respect to painting. During the early years as an artist, I built furniture and became a woodcarver among other things, then began painting landscapes in oil. Later I added still life and figure painting to my options. Some time ago I started including figures in my landscape and city scenes. Now I paint a wide variety of subjects.
